Agreed, I think a good stay-at-home defenseman is Bowman's priority, though I guess he picked up Morrison as an insurance policy at center, at a relatively low cost. Be interesting to see who they bring into the fold, I was thinking Beauchemin before the Ducks signed him to that fat contract.

I am hoping the Wings will make a significant add before the trade deadline. They have the cap space.

The Hawks - Canucks games was quite entertaining game from a strictly hockey perspective. Even more impressive was it being the first game back after the break.

Definitely some world class goal tending from each side throughout the whole game and both teams had plenty of chances.

I know the Hawks wanted the full two points but hopefully they can build on the good things as they move on to Edmonton and Calgary.

Awesome goaltending on both ends indeed, Matt. Sharp looked rusty, Toews didn't seem 100% yet, but besides Crawford, I thought Keith was superb. Stalberg looked really good until the giveaway.

Did I mention I hate the Sedins?

Hopefully 4 points in the rest of Alberta.

The Sedins have that gift were one can get lost in Dzone coverage and the other gets him the puck at the perfect time...sucks to be the goaltender at that point.

Crazy twin powers

if anyone has GCL may want to watch the Sharks game. Sharks channeled the Bruins. 5 fights and 6 goals. You know its bad when Boyle fights.

It's so nice to see the Avalanche pick up right where they left off before the All-Star break

Ugh...I hear you....

I was lucky enough to be too busy to watch the game, so only had to look at the newspaper to get my disappointment....

post game was classic.
Boyle mentioned Nash was pissed. He wanted to fight Boyle last game 2-1 Sharks. Boyle declined. Boyle mentioned I guess he still wants to fight.

I guess he felt Brassard was diving and started yelling at him. There is some serious hate between these clubs.

What a game last night....

Pens were down 4-1 to the Leafs in the 3rd only to come storming back to tie it and force a shoot out and win 5-4. On a tear right now...

Pens showed a lot last night, but that goal waved off in the first sucked for the Leafs. The refs blew that call. Was watching the Roots replay last night and even the Pens announcers were saying bad call. Early in the game but have to wonder if the outcome would have been different. It stuck out as it reminded me of the horrible Sharks Flames goal waved off a few weeks back where Jokinen ran into kipper but they blamed a Shark. That was in the last few minutes of the game though. Would be interesting to know if it was the same crew.


Edit
Curls for the girls is a new favorite. awesome

Yeah, I hear ya! Picking up Neal last year turned out to be huge for the Pens! With the Crosby thing going on having him around has been a blessing!

Absolutely DISGUSTING last 10:00 of the 3rd for the Wild last night. Up 4-1 at that point, and LOSE 5-4 in REGULATION. I wanted to PUKE.

3rd goal for the Preds seemed like Harding had the puck covered and in control, but they kept jamming at his glove and knocked it in. Still, NO EXCUSE for falling that flat that fast! If this one doesn't light a fire, consider the season OVER.

Apparently the Oilers have the Hawks number when in "The City of Champions"...17 goals in the back of the Hawks net in two meetings.

Sam Ganger put himself into quite the company with 8 points, only one of 13 players to score 8 or more points in a game.
